For fans of Burnside Farms’ popular annual Festival of Spring, the wait is almost over. The farm announced that the festival will run from April 4 to 21, and tickets are on sale starting today, March 27, at noon.
Burnside Farms in Nokesville is well known for its sprawling tulip fields, which encompass more than 150 varieties of the flower. (There are also more than 30 types of daffodil, if that’s more your speed.)
During the Festival of Spring, guests are invited to visit the farm and pick their own flowers. Each ticket includes five self-picked stems. Food trucks, drinks, and entertainment are also available during the festival.
Every year, the exact dates of the festival vary because of the way weather impacts the flowers. The spring season lasts roughly three weeks, depending on conditions. So, if conditions are good, this year’s season may even last past April 21.
You can always check out the online Field Report to see the status of the blooms.
